Add a splash of color??

12 years ago

Thanks to the extra money i made from my home business this month, I treated myself to 8 Tolix cafe chairs around my dining table. ( These babies are not cheap;) Now my dining space needs some cheery color! Do i add color with a wall hanging or paint? What do you think ?

Love those chairs!!

You could add a colorful, modern wallpaper ... that sloping wall would look awesome papered. Are you open to wallpapering?

I would anchor the room with a colorful area rug that echoes a large-scale art piece, rather than do a crazy color on the wall. Your furniture is so neutral right now that I feel like a very bold wall might overwhelm.

I searched for Tolix and rarely saw your chairs sitting on a rug. Seem to be of a more industrial bent. If that large wall is unpierced by windows or doors, I'd paint it, or hang
something large on it, or both!

Love the chairs and the table. I love the simple look and I suggest staying the the warm beiges and grays. A mirror and sideboard would add a lot to your room, when the time comes.

Would it be possible to exchange the two end chairs for the same chair but a fun color? Add art and get something with a lower profile that will show off the beautiful color in the fruit on the table.

I would definitely add wall art. You may want to add a piece that makes you feel you are dining somewhere in another country you have visited or a scene you want to see outside your window while dining.

No rug...seems impractical in a dining room. But you need texture. Maybe some window curtains. Yes to wall art.

I second indianpatti's wallpaper idea.

Just a tad over the top perhaps, but I couldn't resist painting your wall aubergine. Then I would turn it into an abstract or industrial-style art gallery.

The French doors make many modern looks difficult. Look for a transitional style such as cafe/bistro. The wall colour should be greyed down without being the same as the chair colour.

I would add a colorful rug, large art or 3 pieces to the wall. Add drapes to complement the colors in the art. Add 3 interesting shaped items to the dining table.
